2012 BURGER BASH

Chef Michael Symon, BSpot, Cleveland, OH – Food Network Star won his third concecutive Burger Bash at the South Beach Food & Wine Festival.

"We like the meat-on-meat concept," Symon said Friday of his string of winning burgers, all of which were dressed with meaty toppings. This year's winner, the Porky Burger, featured a ground pork burger studded with bacon, then topped with pulled pork. And for good measure, he added a side of pork cracklings.

"The first year we did the salami. The second year we did the pastrami. This year we ground the bacon into the meat for the burger," he said. "We did what we thought was impossible, so maybe we should call it quits."
